| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Botswana occupies the central field, depicting an oval shield charged with a cogwheel above horizontal wavy lines and a bull's head below, supported by two ivory tusks and flanked by stylised vegetation. A scrolled ribbon beneath the shield bears the national motto PULA in raised lettering. The country name BOTSWANA arcs along the left periphery and the motto IPELEGENG along the right, with the date 1991 positioned in the lower field below the ribbon. |

| Reverse description | A South African gemsbok (Oryx gazella) is depicted in dynamic profile, rendered in high relief as though in full gallop with all four legs extended, facing left across the open field. The denomination numeral 10 appears at the upper centre of the field in bold characters, with the legend THEBE inscribed immediately below in smaller lettering. The design is naturalistically rendered with fine detail in the animal's facial markings, body musculature, and elongated straight horns. |
